Independent Victoria Scenario (IVS)

[Kaigon]

*Bump*

And now to the actual post, How are things progressing? Any new information that will again rekindle my excitement for IVS?

I believe this mod won't be released until the moddir-function is activated (you don't need a new copy of Vic to play any mods). Until then it might be difficult to do some real testing... since balancing will be a large part, and the moddir really helps...

Has any more progress been made? It would simple enough to copy+paste a new version of Vic to your hard drive.

Copying a couple 100s of MB, real handy... Why, oh why can't we have a working moddir? And a scenario editor when I'm in whining mode...

Allthough having a moddir would be more practical, having seperate copies of Vicky works quite fine too. With the sizes of harddisks today, a couple 100 MBs shouldn't be daunting

Look at my sig, I'm in whining mode all the time!

And I wouldn't mind copying the Victoria folder again, I've copied my CK one 3 times and Vic one 3 times so another one won't make too much difference...

I'd be more than happy to butcher my Vic to test the mod...I'm not a huge fan of the Vic GC as it is. I'm sure others are in the same boat as I am. Anyone else feel like devoting their Vic to testing?

As I tried saying, you don't have to choose.....

Me too!

I just loved the IES I'm very impatient for IVS.

I too would like to see it. I loved IES (as much as one can for playing in EU2 SP), and since Victoria SP holds my attention much longer and is overall a better game, it would be great to see an IVS. Just copy paste Victoria, it's not so bad unless you don't really have any space. If you decide to get it back up again, give a yell and I'll be happy to help.

can you make a Viccy map like the culture one you did without any countires (need it to help with the 1919 mod , so i can work out borders) sorry to ask but i need it.....

Is this still alive ?

 

[unmerged(12680)]

Yup, pretty much...

Uff, that´s good News, almost thought the worse..

If by alive you mean: "I still have the stuff I did for the mod somewhere on my hard drive, but I have no idea if the same can be said for most of the stuff which is in the hands the mod's creator (Kaigon)..." o

Regardless, IIRC Kaigon wanted to wait for additional modding support from a Viccy patch before completing the mod, but it just might see the light of day, though not for a while yet...

I still have the stuff, no worry
Perhaps I was expecting too much with a moddir-feature for Vicky, but now, when I actually released the ICS for CK without the moddir, I no longer has that as an argument not to continue IVS

The big difference and problem is that I've never managed to create a playable version for the IVS (which I somehow, lucky enough, managed for the ICS). However, it's not completely lost, since I recall that I managed to start the game, but it CtD after a couple of days. I'll simply release a non-working mod, and see if anyone can solve the problem.
But that would be for next week, at the earliest, but then, I'll have Christmas-vacation for about 4 weeks with-not-too-much-other-stuff-to-do

Could VickyWiki be of any use/help?

(I'm curious as to the suitability of wikis as collaboration platforms for modding efforts.)

no idea
but I guess a wiki could be used for modding guides and "personal tips when modding", "what to avoid", "precautions when modding"... currently I'm in the need for "what's wrong with this mod", but that might be lil' bit to general for a wiki
